Currently net_iov stores a pointer to struct dmabuf_genpool_chunk_owner, which serves as a useful abstraction to share data and provide a context. However, it's too devmem specific, and we want to reuse it for other memory providers, and for that we need to decouple net_iov from devmem. Make net_iov to point to a new base structure called net_iov_area, which dmabuf_genpool_chunk_owner extends.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
